THE TARIFF.
A Definite Plan OF Reduction to he sub
mitteG.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-That there is to
be definite plan of tariff reduction sub
mitted to congress there can be no doubt.
The plan will be recommended In the pres
ident's message and outlined in the report
of the secretary OF thel treasury, and will
have had the previous approval OF Mr.. Car
Isle ond of other democratic leaders who
will represent the democratic majority in
the house. What the details of the plan
Will be 1t is not yet possible to determine.
There can be no doubt, however, that the
general policy has been determined upon,
and that it involves reduction, both ia the
internal revenue and in the customs duties
the committee on ways and means will un-
doubtedly be constituted by Mr. Carlisle
so that the administration policy will at
least be submitted to the house in an auth
Oritative form for consideration. 1t is not
expected, however, that this will be done
In II hurry. Mr.. Carlisle has already said
that he expects that the session of congress
will continue until August Mr.. Carlisle's
position as to the reduction of surplus and
taxation Is well understood, and has not
materially changed since the last congress.
He thinks there should be reduction of ut
least $40, 900, 600 in the revenue. He would
favor the abolition of the tax on manufac-
tured tobacco, not including cigars and Gig
arettes. He Is not disposed to make
any further reduction at present Of
the tobacco tax, and will oppose any re-
duction Of the tax on whisky. He is also
opposed to reduction of the duty on SUI
gar, bat AS to the rest of the customs list,
will favor important changes. He believes
that lumber, salt and coal should go on the
free list. He would favor also a reduction
of the duties on wool.

FRANCE.
ON CONDITIONS,

PARIS, Nov. 26 Tie lie Paris says that
Rouvier has agreed to read President
Grevy's message only on condition that the
latter withdraw his acceptance of the rcsig-
nation of the ministry. Rouvier reproach-
ed the president for accepting the ministers
resignation before the conversion operation
could he reconcluded. 1t is reported on
Rouver's advice that Wilson actually sign
ed the letter of resignation in order To avoid
endangering Grevy's position, but the lat
ter, seeing that it would amount to an adj
mission OF Wilson's guilt. forbade it, and
Wilson agreed to cancel the letter. Nader
de Montiou is actively canvassng in behalf
of the proposed resolution expressing conf
dence in Grevy. Although the feeling
against Grevy is somewhat abated, IL is
thought unlikely that his friends efforts
will be successful.
1t is stated that General Saussier has
asked permission of the war ministry to
announce in the newspapers his refusal to
contest for the presidency. General Saus-
sier's withdrawal leaves only three 6andi-
dates, Fouquet, Ferry and Freycinct.

WARRINGTON NOTES.
LAND CASE.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.--The secretary of
the interior has rendered "a decision in the
case of the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany, upon which a rule has been issued to
show cause why certain lands adjacent to
and the company's terminus with the un-
coupled portion of the main line of the At
lantic d Pacific Railroad company, which
are intersected by the line of Southern Paci-
fic Company should not be restored to the
public domain. Congress having declared
forfeiture Of the grant to the Atlantic n Pa
ciiic Hallway company, rs to the uncoupled
portion of said road. The secretary holds
that the effect OF the Atlantic Il
Pacific forfeiture was to make
the United States tenant in common
with the Southern Pacific company as to
common lands, and therefore all odd-num-
bered sections within the common limits
should still remain in reservation unit
partition thereof has been made. The sec
retary says that If the company is willing
to accept alternate sections, he knows of no
objection to such course and in that case
the remaining sections will be restored to
the public domain.
THE INTERSTATE CoMIssIoN.
Secretary Lamar, in his annual report,
will recommend that the interstate com"
merce commission be made independent of
the authority or supervision of the interior
department, ana that it be made directly
responsible to congress or to the president,
as nothing in the duties OF the commission
are within the usual authority or control of
the department.
